Bills WR Sammy Watkins Likely to Play Thursday Night

Seemingly always on the team's injury report, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins should be a go Thursday night against the New York Jets. Watkins suffered a setback on the same foot that forced off-season surgery during Buffalo's Week 1 loss. At that point, reports indicated he'd be out of action for a while. That no longer appears to be the case.

With Watkins likely taking to the field after a short week, we need to temper expectations here. Though, he is going up against a Jets corner in Darrelle Revis who allowed A.J. Green to catch eight passes on as many targets with two touchdowns last week.
